From the author's website
As a blonde-haired, green-eyed Muslim of Circassian descent, Nadine was raised to hide the truth about her religion, spending years hiding behind her white-passing privilege. Following the Muslim Ban, she gathered the courage to write a love letter to Islam—a book about a young girl running toward her Islamic heritage, rather than away from it. The resulting book—All-American Muslim Girl—is designed as a tonic for other confused or curious cross-cultural kids, eager to finally embrace their own heritage.
